Hi... just discovered this little gem whilst trying to finalise a firmware build kit for an ARM device (Ka-Ro TX27 running kernel 2.6.28). Trying to compile busybox resulted in this: chroot "/home/stuartl/jacques/testmod-builder/root" arm-926ejs-linux-gnueabi-emerge -v \ --noreplace \ avahi dropbear fbgrab rsync ntp mtd-utils tslib greenend-sftp \ mpg123 vorbis-tools mtd-utils testkit memedit evtest busybox * IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'. * Use eselect news to read news items.

Not sure which one is correct (and therefore who's bug this is) but the busybox ebuild used to work with USE=savedconfig, so I'm leaning towards a recent change in the savedconfig.eclass. Either way, the package is broken for now. Do we add configure to the valid ebuild phases? Or do we move savedconfig somewhere else?
ive allowed it in src_configure http://sources.gentoo.org/eclass/savedconfig.eclass?r1=1.13&r2=1.14
